DWC Plugs Leak in the Subsequent Injury Fund

 

DWC has proposed a rule addressing a little-known problem.  In some circumstances SIF can issue Lifetime Income Benefit payments to an employee who meets the criteria.  Of course the employee must be alive to receive them.  This new rule proposal protects the Fund by providing a process to verify that a LIBs recipient is still among the living before the payments are issued.  Public comments are being accepted to proposed Rule 131.5.
